[Elecraft] CW station calling an RTTY station: use mark or space frequency?

[Larry Phipps]

I'm going from memory dating back many years, but I think RTTY stations 
normally ID in cw by sending cw with the "key down" on the space 
frequency, and key up on mark. Sticking with that convention might make 
it a little easier to copy for them due to familiarity of the tones. I'm 
not sure too may ops would recognize what you're doing, but it would be 
fun to find out.
